Oh lord...how I hate to admit this one, but I read Gene Simmons' autobiography:
Gene Simmons and his mother were displaced persons after WWII.
His father, a very good looking and nice man, was not much of a wage earner for the family. He was a laborer of some kind I think. But a very, very poor earner lacking initiation and drive.
Anyway, his mother divorced his father when Gene was young. All young Gene heard from the mother was what a nice guy and good looking his father was (too bad it skipped Gene), but he didn't know how to make money. This was her mantra to Gene. Over and over she repeated that when conversations turned to Gene's father. No wonder Gene thinks that to earn is place in his mother's heart that he HAS to make money in order to win her approval!!! And, by the way, he does worship is mother like many nice Jewish boys.
Yes, I agree, now it is his ego that drives him. But it started with Mama beating the message in his head.
(Now I am going to slink in a corner and curl in a fetal position for admitting I even read that book....)
P.S. I read all Donald Trump's books when I can, too. Amazingly, he makes alot of sense to me. Wonder what that says about my logic...ha!
